Sound Bath in the Gallery
Come relax at a meditative sound event in Redux’s main art gallery with energy healer Christian McClellan. Make sure to bring your own mat so you can lay down comfortably to experience a “bath” in beautiful sound waves created with various crystal singing bowls. Sound baths are known to lower blood pressure and heart rate to induce a deep state of relaxation. This group event includes a small guided meditation and optional essential oils and reiki, a Japanese form of energy healing.
